Hua Ying shook her head, clearing the fuzziness. "Alright, a shame." She glanced at her watch. "God, it's almost time. I have to hurry downstairs to grab a mission, or all the good ones will be taken."
"I'll go too."
"Okay, let's go together. Ask me if there's anything you don't understand. I arrived at the base on the second day of the apocalypse, so I'm the one to ask."
"Alright."
The two walked to the stairwell, which was already crowded.
People were also coming down from upstairs, instantly jamming the passage. Movement was slow, and the air was thick with the smell of sweat and body odor.
Hua Ying leaned close to Xu Qian and whispered, "Someone's definitely fighting. It's like this every day."
"Stop pushing!"
"I didn't push you! I can't be bothered with you, let's go, don't delay me from getting a mission."
"You!"
The base prohibited the destruction of public facilities, so the two could only glare, stuck in the crowd.
Hua Ying's eyes darted around, and she hissed, "Hurry up, don't dawdle, or all the missions will be snatched by Building E."
"Yeah, yeah, yesterday all the good missions were gone, leaving only 'find a dog,' 'find a cat' – how are you supposed to find those?"
"Exactly, let's hurry."
"Don't get in the way!"
"Move it!"
The two exchanged a look, snorted, and descended.
In less than a minute, the speed of descending the stairs became smoother.
Everyone was rushing towards the mission hall, and they followed the crowd.
Upon entering the mission hall, it was fortunate that the area was large, otherwise, thousands of people crammed in would have been a deadly crush.
Everyone held a small notebook to record their missions.
Most people were choosing between one-star and two-star missions, with a few attempting three-star or higher.
Xu Qian looked up and scanned the one-star missions.
1. Search the base for a missing dog (Husky, long-haired, blue-eyed, particularly silly).
2. Search the base for a lost mobile phone (a gift from his girlfriend, greatly cherished).
3. Responsible for cleaning Apartment 1302 in Building F (duration: two days).
She narrowed her eyes. These were all similar base missions, primarily designed for those unable to kill zombies.
As long as you have enough points, you can commission the base to issue missions. One-star missions were mostly commissioned tasks.
Hua Ying, meanwhile, had squeezed into the two-star mission area, calling out, "Xu Qian, come see, there are a few missions that are quite simple."
Two-star missions.
1. Clear zombies, location: Beichen Garden, 1 kilometer from the base. Clear four rooms on the first floor of Building 1.
2. Clear zombies in the Rongrong Mall outside the base.
3. Clear a standalone factory building within 2 kilometers of the base.
Xu Qian glanced at the two-star missions. They were mostly about clearing zombies around the base, preparing for its expansion. She turned and went to the three-star mission area.
There weren't many people in the three-star mission area, and almost no one was attempting four or five-star missions.
Three-star missions.
1. Collect any seeds (quantity: 10 sacks or more, each sack: 10kg).
2. Clear zombies at the nearest highway entrance to the base (individual: 20 zombies, team missions calculated based on team members).
3. Find welding machines (quantity: 5).
4. Axes, hammers, daggers, knives, and similar offensive weapons (quantity: 20).
5. Lighters (quantity: 3000).
Three-star missions required venturing into the city to collect corresponding supplies, but many people in the base lacked vehicles, and even those with vehicles had no gasoline. Thus, they opted for two-star missions.
Four-star missions.
1. Find and safely bring back mother from a certain residential complex in G City (specific location).
2. Collect gasoline (500 kilograms).
3. Collect medical supplies, not limited to thermometers, cold medicine, anti-inflammatory drugs, painkillers, anti-diarrheal medication, bandages/gauze, band-aids, medicated oil, vitamins, antibiotics, etc. (calculated by weight: 100 kilograms).
There was only one five-star mission: clear the entire hospital building in G City, with a time limit of one month.
Xu Qian's eyes narrowed. It was much like her past life. However, this five-star mission was eventually taken by Jiang Shuo's strategic team, and they became famous after completing it.
